Dr Angela Hancock, Consultant Midwife and CeNREE Clinical Academic Support

Angela currently works as a Consultant Midwife in Public Health at UHNM for three days per week and is funded for two days a week by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), as a Senior Research Leader. Angela holds honorary lectureships at the Universities of Keele and Manchester where she supports education and postgraduate research.  During a midwifery career spanning over 30 years, Angela has strived to provide and promote evidence-based care, leading many service improvement projects in clinical practice to achieve this. 

Angela has held two previous awards from the NIHR, enabling her to develop research knowledge and skills, through a Master of Research degree and PhD, exploring research questions relevant to clinical midwifery and obstetric practice. As an experienced clinician, researcher and educator, Angela is ideally placed to support other health professionals embarking on their own clinical academic careers and in developing their own clinically focussed research questions that will inform evidence-based care of the future.
